A bill for an act relating to interpretation of law in administrative and judicial proceedings under the Iowa administrative procedure Act.(See HF 853.)

This bill changes how courts and administrative officials interpret laws and agency rules in Iowa. Currently, courts sometimes defer to an agency's interpretation of a law if the agency has been given discretion. This bill would require courts and officials to interpret laws and agency documents themselves, without deferring to the agency. If there is any doubt after trying to interpret the law, the doubt must be resolved in a way that limits the agency's power.
